DeSantis is not going to get any favorable coverage from MSM. He’s made the calculus to spite them. Right or wrong, he believes in new media and only throws MSM scraps. They will make him pay for that. Leftist media desperately wants Trump for ratings and the more beatable candidate for Biden. Rightwing old guard media, Fox specifically, did not take kindly to DeSantis announcing on Twitter over traditional media.

So what is your explanation for so many northerners moving to Florida and so many Californians leaving Cali for Arizona, Texas, Montana and Idaho? Both beautiful states in terms of geography and weather. In fact Cali beats anyone with the ocean & mountains along with more moderate temps and lesser humidity. The state has every resource necessary to be THE cornerstone state of America, yet people are leaving in droves.

Can’t deny any longer that the conservative boycott has real power to make news. Bud Light STILL reeling and Target has lost an estimated $9B in the past week. That being said. They don’t care. They quite literally hate you. They don’t think the boycotts will last and they would rather get the DEI/ESG bump for their banking overlords in Vanguard and BlackRock.

I don't know if it's fair or not fair, but the fact is McDermott has Josh Allen. If this list is weighted for the QB you have... I can't argue a ton. Staley has Herbert, a level below Allen. (McDemott is a better coach than Staley though) Smith has nobody. McConnell has Cousins. McDaniel had Tua or backups Most agree that Mahomes, Allen and Burrow are the 3 best QB's in the league. Which one hasn't made the Super Bowl? Do we put that more on Allen or McDermott? I know which way I lean, and that is why I can't argue a ton with this ranking. This is a MASSIVE year for McDermott. He is an elite culture building coach, which counts for a lot, but he has yet to show he can take the next step. Others with elite QB's have.

DeSantis has a ton of money and is incredibly disciplined & organized. He also takes chances. Sometimes it pays off… sometimes you run the risk of a mixed bag with the Twitter launch. All that being said … they are investing HEAVY in grassroots, never before seen levels of organization on the ground, in the early primary states. That’s what it will come down to, imo. And I think think this is their calculation also. Make Trump look vulnerable. If they can win Iowa and win one of SC or NH, Trump won’t look inevitable and people may start to flip in other primaries.

The California vs Florida debate, to me, is the most accurate. You will always have northeast/midwest folks that want to move south due to the weather. It just so happens that the northeast/midwest (outside Ohio) tend to be lean blue or deep blue. The southern states all tend to be lean red or deep red. However, California is a different story. It is the most beautiful state in this country, with amazing weather. Yet people are fleeing. And under Ron DeSantis, even with heavy influx states like Texas, Tennessee, Georgia and The Carolinas, Florida leads the way in population growth.

Well, well, well, how the diversity turntables…

WE DEMAND YOU COMMENT ON HYPOTHETICAL SITUATIONS Also, and I’m not saying I necessarily agree with them, but you do know they aren’t actually discussing going to large scale war with Mexico, correct?

You are literally the crying face behind the laughing mask meme.

What does this even mean?

That’s because they’re rural states… Those in the medical profession are pretty diverse in thought. Half of my family is in medicine. All work in practices/hospitals in Atlanta. All are conservative. Also, fwiw, there was a lot of disagreement in medical circles on the vax for young healthy people, but they were literally at threat of losing their career if they were found to be advising patients otherwise or discussing on social media.

DeSantis planned rollout was always Twitter Spaces, followed by an 8 pm Fox News appearance. This has been known since yesterday. Also, be honest… what really is your beef with Elon? Is it just that he operates a free speech platform that has damaged the liberal propaganda machine? If not.. why would you not support free speech, free exchange of ideas and a platform with the intent to destroy the corporate press (both left and right leaning)?

700k when it crashed. 300k on the second attempt. Replay ability exists on Twitter and I doubt the 400k lost on the reboot are all swing voters in Wisconsin. We’ll see if it works, but DeSantis team is 100x more organized on the ground than Trump and their plan is to flood the early primary states and take away th w inevitability element of Trump. Regardless, as someone who almost went into politics… this stuff fascinates me.. and my biggest question right now is what DeSantis war chest means … if its from small donors, then the polling may be off. If it’s from big donors, well.. they aren’t in the business of backing losers.

Trump surrogates are lying about the Elon/BBC interviews having 3.3M listeners. That number was the recorded version that they later broadcasted. The live version was around 200k. Which is massive. Twitter started melting down pretty early on though. Completely crashed at 700k, but was glitching nonstop at around 300k+ They had to have have the foresight that this could set a record… Once Elon broadcasted from Sacks account, the broadcast was fine though. Stayed around 300k for most of the Q&A portion with no issues.

Good breakdown.

Substantive discussion after the tech glitch. The type of discussion Trump is too distracted to have and Biden no longer has the intellectual stamina for.

Approaching 700k as of right now on Twitter Spaces, as the apps servers are melting down.

You mean to tell me everyone lied, again….

Legislative reasons I’ve shifted to Republicans in the past five years: Lower taxes. School choice. Secure borders. Pro-Small Business. Late first/second trimester protections for an unborn life. Cultural reason I’ve shifted to Republicans in the past five years: Covid Sanity Freedom of speech/expression for all outside of fringe groups that wish to target children. Pro-nuclear family. Pushback against the TQIA+ cult. Pushback against corporations, education, culture and institutions that the left has successfully weaponized while the old guard R’s kept espousing free markets and a hands off approach. I am not a Republican.. I disagree with some of their stances. However, the elements I outlined above only exist in the Republican Party with those like Ron DeSantis, Glenn Youngkin, Brian Kemp, Thomas Massie, Rand Paul etc.. Im open to someone like RFK Jr or Tulsi Gabbard, however the establishment left has all but declared them to be alt-right, so I’m not very confident that element of the party will ever be successful.

I’m not easily offended, but the videos I’ve seen from this drag hate group make me disgusted. Haven’t had a visceral reaction to something like this in a while. If the Bills pulled some bs like this, I’d probably have to drop my fandom. This is just so far over the line.

Side note: If the two liberals in this thread crying that they can’t show graphic content to kids are indicative of the stance the entire Dem party will continue to take on TQIA+, that’s very good news for Republicans. Poll after poll shows R’s poll much stronger on the issues that spin off of this. As the TQIA+ agenda permeates further into the mainstream, it furthers the backlash. Dems biggest ally in this fight has been apathy and lack of exposure. Most non-online folks didn’t know this stuff was going on … now they are forced to acknowledge it. Glenn Youngkin’s popularity in Virginia and the Target boycott should be the canaries in the coal mine for any moderate Dem observing this issue.

Well.. many of the books “banned” have sexual content as graphic as that of 50 Shades, only in these books, the language is aimed at children.
